Take water, I mean lot’s of water, add air, mix it fiercely, and you’ll get the best imaginable color: turquoise. This happens at Huka Falls near Taupo, where the beautiful Waikato river first squeezes through a little narrow gorge at full speed and then plunges down a 9 m step to be released into freedom after that. The water pushes so powerfully through this process that it is airy and bubbly and of the most beautiful turquoise you can imagine.
Ah, before I forget, the non-mixed river is beautiful as well, a deep, saturated greenish-blue, and the ground is visible everywhere. Only later it is used for producing power, but within an hour’s walk from Taupo, this is not yet noticeable.
B.t.w., do you also have that exhilarating vision of kayaking Huka Falls? OMG…!
